66: Why Ricky Gervais is wrong about God, knowledge, science, and religion, with Trent Horn

The key that determines the success of every great endeavor is whether or not we actually do it.  Planning, scheming, dreaming, all of these things are fine but in the final analysis only doing a deed will get the deed done.  But getting things done is hard.  Things can arise that we did not plan energy can wane situations can change.  It’s a good thing that God is on our side and leading out of a place of faith helps you to bend and not break.

How a Southern Baptist PASTOR Found Catholic Truth

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into the topic of spiritual idleness, drawing from Father Frederick Faber’s <a href="https://corjesupress.com/products/growth-in-holiness?srsltid=AfmBOooFtEiqLyWH_oHLA-bXFQEf_-3b35CJSjMc0cjJgRN-NPxAlBUV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Growth in Holiness: Progress of the Spiritual Life.</a> Recorded around the Fourth of July, the episode begins with a celebration of small-town Americana, from mutton busting at the local rodeo to the ordination of their friend, Father Robert Williams. The hosts then explore seven developments of spiritual idleness—dissipation, sadness, sloth, and more—offering practical insights on how to stay vigilant and prioritize a life oriented toward God. Sipping on Balvenie’s American Oak 12-Year Scotch, Adam and David discuss how modern distractions, like smartphones and excessive communication, fragment our focus and hinder our prayer life, and share strategies for cultivating presence, joy, and intentionality in both spiritual and daily routines.Key Discussion Points:<ul><li>Small-Town Americana: The hosts celebrate the Heart of America rodeo, mutton busting, and the communal prayer and patriotism of small-town events, reflecting on their importance in fostering connection.</li><li>Priestly Ordination: David shares a moving story of his son’s emotional response to Father Robert Williams’ ordination, highlighting the eternal nature of the priesthood and the call to discernment.</li><li>Spiritual Idleness Defined: Drawing from Father Faber’s Growth in Holiness, the hosts unpack seven developments of spiritual idleness: dissipation (misprioritizing tasks), sadness (rooted in self-love), sloth (hatred of existence), useless industry (excessive communication), and general indifference to time.</li><li>Dissipation’s Impact: Putting less important tasks first disrupts the hierarchy of goods, leading to a loss of peace and distractions in prayer, as Faber notes: “He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”</li><li>Sadness and Self-Love: Sadness, driven by self-improvement rather than God, gives the devil power over the soul, undermining spiritual progress.</li><li>Sloth as a Culmination: Sloth combines dissipation and sadness, fostering a distaste for existence and duties, disrupting the tranquility of order (Aquinas’ definition of peace).</li><li>Useless Industry: Faber’s critique of excessive letter-writing in the 1800s applies to today’s text messaging and social media, which fragment focus and reduce meaningful communication.</li><li>Indifference to Time: Wasting time, especially on addictive platforms like YouTube Shorts, is a “stupid” sin that squanders the precious, irrevocable gift of time, which Faber calls “the stuff out of which eternity is made.”</li><li>Focus and Presence: True focus requires saying “no” to distractions to prioritize God’s will, fostering presence in both daily life and prayer, as exemplified by a man eating lunch under a tree without multitasking.</li><li>Leisure Done Right: Leisure must align with one’s state in life, be tethered to joy, and have a contemplative aspect, avoiding compulsory or utilitarian ends.</li></ul> Notable Quotes from Father Frederick Faber:<ul><li>“Dissipation… consists in putting things off beyond their proper times so that one duty treads upon the heels of another, and all duties are felt as irksome obligations.”</li><li>“He who is diligent will soon be cheerful.”</li><li>“The soul of sadness is self-love… How many are there whose real end in the spiritual life is self-improvement rather than God?”</li><li>“Nothing gives the devil so much power over us [as sadness].”</li><li>“Time is the stuff out of which eternity is made… we shall have to give the strictest account of it at the last.”</li></ul> Resources:<ul><li>Growth in Holiness: Progress of the Spiritual Life by Father Frederick Faber (available from Koreasoo Press).</li><li>Select International Tours – Join Adam and David on their October pilgrimage to Italy or explore other holy sites worldwide.</li><li>Explore St. Hesychios’ writings on watchfulness for insights on vigilance in the spiritual life.</li></ul>

"THIS is where God is." - Sami Berry's Conversion Testimony

Following God’s will is keeping union with God the Father, in love; walking close with His Son Jesus: the Way, Truth, and Life.

UNION IS HIS WILL

Let’s be real: a lot of guys hear the word disciple and think, “Whoa, I just wanted to flip burgers at the church event, not become a disciple.” But here’s the truth: being a Catholic man today means stepping up, not just sitting on the sidelines. Sean Lynn has been on this journey for 30 years. He was a police officer, seeing firsthand what happens when dads aren’t there—broken families, young people lost, crime. "We need Catholic men who are unafraid to lead, unafraid to live their faith boldly. And yeah, I get it—fear is real. We’ll talk politics, sports, anything but Jesus. But Scripture says it 140 times: Be not afraid." God is calling each of us by name. Right now. Will you answer?

Interview with an Exorcist (Fr. Vincent Lampert) | Ep. 268

From NBA history to boxing hilarity to heavenly devotion, this episode covers it all. 
Father Dave and Deacon Bob kick off this episode with undefeated basketball teams, NFL surprises, and a now-notorious boxing match that left the world talking about Mike Tyson’s… britches. But the real focus? A heartfelt look at devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the ways God continues to work through saints, sacraments, and sacred spaces. 
They cover everything from the Cleveland Cavaliers’ record-breaking start to Deacon Bob’s visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, the first approved Marian apparition site in the U.S. Father Dave shares exciting updates about Franciscan University’s new presence in Washington, D.C., and how students will be engaging with the nation's capital in fresh, faith-filled ways. 
Meanwhile, the duo breaks down the highly anticipated (and widely mocked) Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, including buffering woes, bizarre interviews, and the mystery of Tyson’s missing pants. But at the heart of the episode is a rich discussion on how saints like St. Augustine, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, and St. Margaret Mary Alacoque open the Church to deeper encounters with the Sacred Heart—especially through the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation. 
Naturally, there is a wide-ranging conversation: sports fandoms, pilgrimage dreams, movie trailers, and a plea for listeners to join a They That Hope pilgrimage. Through it all, the message remains: God’s heart thirsts for us—and when we encounter it, we are transformed.

Strive for Freedom: Deacon Michael Halbrook

St. Paul is surely one of the most famous leaders listed in the entire Bible.  His life reads like a passionate saga and is full of lessons for those of us, who being Christians, want to follow in his footsteps leading in our world.  That’s why his second letter to Timothy is so important.  It actually chronicles St. Paul’s final letter in the New Testament to one of his closest disciples.  Chapter 3 of this letter offers us wonderful insight into faith’s capacity to bring us endurance.

Catholic Testimonies, Early Christianity, & the Imitation of Christ

Have you all tried to ask for a raise? Maybe you have played sports in the past and had a big competition on the horizon? Or maybe you were actually in the military on deployment. Whatever the case might be, you prepared for it, didn’t you? You studied your competition. What makes them tick? What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? How can I come out on top?You knew your enemy. Now, of course, your boss isn’t your enemy. Nor is the other team or competition you faced. The actual enemy, is Satan. Whether you know it or not, Satan is coming for you. There is a competition for your soul between Jesus and the devil. “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither yourself or the enemy, you will succumb in every battle.” In this episode, we talk about Satan. In episodes 16 and 17, we talk about Spiritual Warfare and in Episode 44 we talked about Satan’s 5 Generals. Keep listening to hear about the true enemy and why knowing him makes a whole lot more sense when looking at what is going on in the world today. Fr. Dom Challenge: He REALLY loves confession.

Ep 69 - Know Thy Enemy, Know Thyself

I've had many conversations with good Protestant friends of mine about the similarities between Catholics and all other denominations. The saying I hear most often is, "we all pretty much believe the same things anyway, right?"&nbsp;
Wrong.&nbsp;
That's a hard pill to swallow. It can be an even harder pill to administer. We don't like showing people where we are divided. We're divided enough, aren't we?&nbsp;
I agree that we don't need to be constantly running around calling people heretics and having theological debates, especially if we agree on most values and principles.&nbsp;
BUT there is a difference between Catholic beliefs and Protestant beliefs. And these differences are substantial. The differences impact our road to salvation, so they're important enough to share. 
 
In today's episode, I highlight some of those differences. This is Part Two of Catholic vs. Protestant, so be sure to check out the first episode if you haven't yet!

Ep 114 | Catholic vs. Protestant: Does It Really Matter?

Article 2. Whether it is lawful to kill sinners? Objection 1. It would seem unlawful to kill men who have sinned. For our Lord in the parable (Matthew 13) forbade the uprooting of the cockle which denotes wicked men according to a gloss. Now whatever is forbidden by God is a sin. Therefore it is a sin to kill a sinner. Objection 2. Further, human justice is conformed to Divine justice. Now according to Divine justice sinners are kept back for repentance, according to Ezekiel 33:11, "I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live." Therefore it seems altogether unjust to kill sinners. Objection 3. Further, it is not lawful, for any good end whatever, to do that which is evil in itself, according to Augustine(Contra Mendac. vii) and the Philosopher (Ethic. ii, 6). Now to kill a man is evil in itself, since we are bound to havecharity towards all men, and "we wish our friends to live and to exist," according to Ethic. ix, 4. Therefore it is nowise lawful to kill a man who has sinned. On the contrary, It is written (Exodus 22:18): "Wizards thou shalt not suffer to live"; and (Psalm 100:8): "In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land." I answer that, As stated above (Article 1), it is lawful to kill dumb animals, in so far as they are naturally directed toman's use, as the imperfect is directed to the perfect. Now every part is directed to the whole, as imperfect to perfect, wherefore every part is naturally for the sake of the whole. For this reason we observe that if the health of the whole body demands the excision of a member, through its being decayed or infectious to the other members, it will be both praiseworthy and advantageous to have it cut away. Now every individual person is compared to the whole community, as part to whole. Therefore if a man be dangerous and infectious to the community, on account of some sin, it is praiseworthy and advantageous that he be killed in order to safeguard the common good, since "a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump" (1 Corinthians 5:6). Reply to Objection 1. Our Lord commanded them to forbear from uprooting the cockle in order to spare the wheat, i.e. the good. This occurs when the wicked cannot be slain without the good being killed with them, either because thewicked lie hidden among the good, or because they have many followers, so that they cannot be killed without danger to the good, as Augustine says (Contra Parmen. iii, 2). Wherefore our Lord teaches that we should rather allow the wickedto live, and that vengeance is to be delayed until the last judgment, rather than that the good be put to death together with the wicked. When, however, the good incur no danger, but rather are protected and saved by the slaying of thewicked, then the latter may be lawfully put to death. Reply to Objection 2. According to the order of His wisdom, God sometimes slays sinners forthwith in order to deliver the good, whereas sometimes He allows them time to repent, according as He knows what is expedient for His elect. This also does human justice imitate according to its powers; for it puts to death those who are dangerous to others, while it allows time for repentance to those who sin without grievously harming others. Reply to Objection 3. By sinning man departs from the order of reason, and consequently falls away from the dignity of his manhood, in so far as he is naturally free, and exists for himself, and he falls into the slavish state of the beasts, by being disposed of according as he is useful to others. This is expressed in Psalm 48:21: "Man, when he was in honor, did not understand; he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them," and Proverbs 11:29: "The fool shall serve the wise." Hence, although it be evil in itself to kill a man so long as he preserve his dignity, yet it may begood to kill a man who has sinned, even as it is to kill a beast. For a bad man is worse than a beast, and is more harmful, as the Philosopher states (Polit. i, 1 and Ethic. vii, 6). ST II-II. Q 64.

11: Is the death penalty always wrong?

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob discuss what it means to have authentic friends in our lives and look ahead to the Lenten season.

Authentic Friendship

In this episode, John and Victor dive deep into a topic that affects us all—worry and anxiety. We all have those moments when life feels overwhelming, but what can we do about it? John shares a powerful personal story about how worry was stealing his joy, even during a simple fishing trip. We'll explore what the saints and scriptures have to say about overcoming these feelings and how trusting in God can make all the difference.

But that's not all—this episode is packed with inspiration! You'll hear a touching story of a young man who found hope and healing through our men's group, a reminder of the incredible impact community can have. Plus, we're talking about the busyness of ministry life, the importance of prayer, and the ways we can all support each other on this journey of faith.

Whether you're new to the show or a longtime listener, there's something here for everyone. Don't forget to like, comment, and consider becoming a Partner in the Pew to help us continue this vital work.

Be Wise at a Nutty Time! | Fr. Gregory Pine

Lent is a journey filled with challenges, but what matters most is not perfection—it’s perseverance. Setbacks and failures are inevitable, but giving up is the easy way out, and you can’t expect to grow stronger by always taking the easy path. Whether through fasting, prayer, or simply showing up, Lent is an opportunity to repent and draw closer to the Lord.

Join us in the pew this week for a reminder that failure doesn’t have to be the end—what truly matters is the courage to begin again.

Summary
 
In this conversation, Nathan Crankfield explores the complexities of personal control, judgment, and the false dichotomy of Catholic approaches to worship and excellence. He emphasizes the importance of avoiding lukewarmness in faith, the need for reverence in worship, and the impact of small actions on spiritual growth. Nathan addresses the challenges of being labeled a Pharisee for caring about church practices and traditions, while advocating for a balance between personal sanctification and communal responsibility. The discussion highlights the significance of discipline in faith and the necessity of maintaining a reverent attitude towards worship and the Eucharist.
